“Reshaping the Ultimate Other: Levantine Conversion from Extremist Islam” (Academic Study Referenced in the Conversation)

Urbana25 hosted a panel on Palestine and Israel, giving students a space to talk about what their response to the conflict should look like today. It was a profound honor to stand on the stage, not alone, but alongside my brother Aaron Abramson from Jews for Jesus. In a world demanding we pick sides, we gathered to talk about a third way: the way of Jesus.My prayer is that this conversation helps you see Israelis and Palestinians not as extensions of a conflict, but as human beings made in God's image. As I shared on stage: God is not pro-Israel or pro-Palestine; God is pro-peace.

Jews for Jesus | Urbana Conference

Dr. Anne Zaki joins The Fares Abraham Podcast for a rich and eye-opening conversation about the indigenous church of the Middle East and why remembering where Christianity began changes how we understand faith today.

Anne and Fares explore how the Middle East is not just a mission field but the birthplace of the Christian story, home to believers who have carried the gospel for nearly 2,000 years. Anne shares how reading Scripture through Middle Eastern eyes opens up the parables of Jesus, how unity is restored through honest conversation, and what it means to preach hope in a region marked by conflict. She also reflects on her journey as a woman called to ministry and why our “outer container” should never define or limit God’s call.

If you’re passionate about church history, cultural insight, or seeing the Middle East through a gospel lens, this episode will deepen your understanding and renew your appreciation for the living stones who continue to witness to Christ where it all began.
